Prom, Pageant and Quinceanera

Dress Alterations

1. Remember when purchasing your prom dress online, to make sure to measure yourself accurately and use the store’s measuring chart. We recommend stopping by Larrissa's Alterations and have them do a professional measurement.

2. If you do it yourself, then it’s better to measure yourself too big than too small – it’s easy to do the right prom dress alterations and take a garment in but a bit difficult to add fabric on! AND besides whether you have to take it in 1″ or 5″, the price is the same.

3. Whatever you do, don’t order your designer prom dress in a size that you THINK you might be on Prom Night and hope to diet into it! (It very rarely works) And besides there might not be enough fabric in the seams to let it out anywhere – much easier to do your prom dress alterations and take a garment in.

4. Most dresses are made for those of us under 5’9″. If you are taller than this and are hoping to have a full length prom dress for Prom Night, please consider getting an EXTRA length added to your dress.

5. A plus size prom dress is not just for a person with above average weight, it is also for a person with above average height! If you can’t find anything there you can still do a couple of things with a 5’9″ designer prom dress.

6. Wear flat shoes. Most of the models you see are between 5’8″ and 5’10″ AND they are all wearing high heels. So maybe you could get away with wearing flats. Make sure you bring the shoes you are going to wear to the alterations fitting.

7. If your fabulous prom dress has a small train, add a hook and eye to the back of your prom dress so that your train can be brought up to the length of your gown when you are dancing (a lot less likely to trip over it!! – which is definitely not a good thing to do.​​

Suit , Dress, Skirt and Jean Alterations

We take great pride in our workmanship and always put the garment back like it came from the manufacturer.

We put original hems on the jeans to keep the look.

Wedding Gown Preservation

Larrissa's Alterations has partnered with The Wedding Gown Preservation Company. They are located in New York and we love their service.

Some great things about The Wedding Gown Preservation Company:

- Bring the dress to us and then we send it off, have it cleaned, preserved and boxed, and then they send it back to either your home or to us (whichever is easiest for you).

- The cost of Wedding Gown preservation is $225.

- They have been around for 100 years. When you are having your dress preserved, which means you won't open it again for years, you want to know the people that preserved it stand by their product. 100 years says a lot!

Measurements

If you are ordering your dress from overseas, we also offer a professional measuring service, so that you can provide your dress makers with the precise measurements they will require to make your dress. We strongly advise you to use this service to ensure that your dress is made to fit you perfectly. There could be up to 20 different measurements required and it is very important that these are accurately taken and provided to the maker of the garment. We also take tuxedo measurements.

Monogramming and Embroidery

We create amazing monograms and embroidery using the most luxurious​​ fonts on towels, clothing, bed linens, bags, laptop sleeves, mouse-pads, caps and more.

The price on embroidery and monogramming depends on the amount of stitches involved​ in your design. More stitches equal a higher cost.

We do offer a wide selection of stock lettering styles and logos that do not require any digitizing (set up) charge.

Custom embroidery and monogramming is available and would require a one time digitizing fee.

Order Turn Around time is 7-14 days, depending on garment and time of year. Estimated completion date will be quoted at the time of order.

​Terms and Conditions will be explained at the store.​ Please check our BLOG to see the latest Monogramming and Embroidery work samples.
